06.05.2020 It's FRIDAY

I got 30 miles on the bike this morning too.  I was indoors though and it was hot and clear with a heat advisory today of heat index of 100-106 deg F.  Our cool spring is over.  The heat has rolled in.

So...I use trainer roads and have seen the Pheonix work out pop up in the schedule before and it seemed to be a very effort of an extended ride.  When I got on the bike this morning I realized that it was a Pheonix +2 work out and not the standard Pheonix workout.  It was a 10 minute warm 75 minutes at 95% FTP and 5 minutes cool down.  What?  75 minutes at 95% FTP?  I missed my Frissell +1 last Saturday which was a 90 min work out with 5x9min at 95% FTP with 5 mins recovery.  So I went with the middle of the road approach this morning and did my workout as a 4x15 minutes at 95% FTP with 5 minutes recovery.  That felt really hard to me.  75 minutes would have got very interesting.  I think cutting the work out was the right choice this morning.

Have a great weekend everyone.
